How can you as the designer use principles of design to help compose a page?

What are the principles of design (define each in your own words)?

I can use the four principles of design to help compose a page, which is known as C.R.A.P.
C.R.A.P. stands for contrast(differences between two opposite colors), repetition (a repeated piece of art), alignment (not crooked, straight), and proximity (putting similar things together). 

For each of the 4 principles of C.R.A.P., find an example that utilizes the principle within the design. You should have 4 DIFFERENT sample designs. For each, discuss how the particular principle is used.

Contrast: The dark objects stand out from the light background

Repetition: The tiles repeat to make a design for the wall all connected together

Alignment: All the different colored figures are lined up in the order of the color wheel

Proximity: A shape of white space is left behind to make a graphic of a dog

Also, answer the following questions in your own words.
